Gallelli MARKET REPORTS
As of the close of Q4 2023, overall shopping center vacancy in the Sacramento region stood at 7.9%. While this reflects a modest decline from the 8.0% vacancy rate of three months ago (Q3), this metric climbed over the course of 2023. One year ago, local vacancy stood at 7.5%. Yet, the trend has played out unevenly. Just five of the region’s 14 submarkets ended 2023 with increased vacancy levels.
Q4 Report Q3 Report Q2 Report Q1 Report2022 was another strong year for retail commercial real estate in the Sacramento region with an overall vacancy rate at 7.7% to close out the 4th quarter. With continued robust demand and nominal new construction, we have experienced positive net absorption and a relatively tight retail market. Despite Federal Reserve rate hikes, consumer spending in the region was still strong with retailers overall performing well in 2022.
Q4 Report Q3 Report Q2 Report Q1 ReportSince the first quarter of 2020 (when the pandemic spread across North America), the Sacramento office market has recorded positive net absorption in just three of 15 quarters. The first time this occurred was in Q3 2020, when the market recorded a modest 43,000 square feet (SF) of positive net absorption—largely due to space users occupying space from deals that largely had been in the works since before the Covid crisis outpacing the trend of space givebacks that, at the time, had only just begun.

Q4 Report Q3 Report Q2 Report Q1 ReportAs of the close of Q4 2023, industrial vacancy in the Sacramento region stood at 5.9%. This reflects a substantial uptick from Q3’s recorded rate of 4.6%. Developers added more than 2.0 million square feet (MSF) of space in Q4,
making this one of the strongest quarters for new construction that the market has ever experienced (there are only four occasions in the past 25 years in which more than two million square feet of new product came online in a single quarter).
As of the close of Q4 2022, total industrial vacancy in the Sacramento region stood at just 4.0%. While this reflects a slight uptick from the 3.8% mark of three months ago and a more substantial increase over the 3.5% reading of Q4 2021, it still reflects an incredibly tight marketplace.
Q4 Report Q1 ReportMultifamily vacancy in the Sacramento region climbed over the final three months of 2023 to 6.7%, up from Q3 2023’s revised reading of 6.2%. One year ago, this metric stood at 5.9%, but vacancy increased in all but one quarter in 2023. Since reaching a local record low of 3.2% in Q2 2021, vacancy has inched up in eight of the last ten quarters. But as distressing as a three-year trend of increasing vacancy may sound to some, it is critical to note that typically multifamily vacancy
in the 5.0% to 7.0% range is considered healthy.
Apartment vacancy in the Sacramento market posted its sixth consecutive quarterly increase during the final three months of 2022, closing the year at 6.7%. Our data only tracks competitive multifamily projects with a minimum of 25 units and does not include smaller complexes or fourplexes, nor does it include senior, student, or Section 8 housing.
